Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a cURL command into a PHP script?
Simply paste your cURL command into the input editor on the left. The engine parses the command in real time and generates clean native PHP cURL code or Guzzle requests on the right.
What is the difference between native cURL and Guzzle?
Native curl_init uses PHP's built-in ext-curl extension without any external packages. Guzzle is an industry-standard modern HTTP library popular in Laravel and Symfony projects.
How does the converter handle JSON request bodies?
JSON request payloads are passed to CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS or Guzzle's body option with proper escaping, while ensuring Content-Type: application/json headers are preserved.
Does this tool support Basic Auth and Bearer tokens?
Yes. Basic Auth (-u user:pass) is mapped to CURLOPT_USERPWD or Guzzle's auth option, and Bearer tokens are mapped to Authorization: Bearer headers.
